=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an interface to the metadata that is provided to a running
instance via the http://169.254.169.254/latest URL, as described in
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/index.html?instancedata-data-categories.html.
Each metadata object caches its values, so there is no overhead in
calling a method repeatedly. Methods return scalar values, lists and
hashrefs as appropriate.
The methods from this class should only be called within the context
of a running EC2 instance. Attempts to call outside of this
context will result in long delays as the module attempts to
connect to an invalid hostname.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 $meta = VM::EC2::Instance::Metadata->new()
=head2 $meta = $ec2->instance_metadata()
=head2 $meta = $instance->metadata()
You can create a new metadata object either using this class's new()
constructor, or by calling an VM::EC2 object's instance_metadata()
method, or by calling a VM::EC2::Instance object's metadata () method.
=head2 Methods that return scalar values
The following methods all return single-valued results:
=over 4
=item Image information:
imageId -- ID of AMI used to launch this instance
imageLaunchIndex -- This index's launch index. If four instances
were launched by one $image->run_instances()
call, they will be numbered from 0 to 3.
amiManifestPath -- S3 path to the image
imageLocation -- Same as amiManifestPath(), for consistency with
VM::EC2::Image
=item Launch and runtime information:
instanceId -- ID of this instance
kernelId -- ID of this instance's kernel.
ramdiskId -- This instance's ramdisk ID
reservationId -- This instance's reservation ID
instanceType -- Machine type, e.g. "m1.small"
availabilityZone -- This instance's availability zone.
userData -- User data passed at launch time.
=item Network information:
localHostname -- The instance hostname corresponding to its
internal EC2 IP address.
privateDnsName -- Same as localHostname(), for consistency with
VM::EC2::Instance
localIpv4 -- The instance IP address on the internal EC2 network.
privateIpAddress -- Same as localIpv4(), for consistency with
VM::EC2::Instance.
mac -- This instance's MAC (ethernet) address.
publicHostname -- This instance's public hostname.
dnsName -- Same as publicHostname() for consistency with
VM::EC2::Instance.
publicIpv4 -- This instance's public IP address.
ipAddress -- Same as publicIpv4() for consistency with
VM::EC2::Instance.
=item Unknown information:
profile -- An undocumented field that contains the virtualization
type in the form "default-paravirtual".
instanceAction -- Undocumented metadata field named "instance-action"
=back
=head2 Methods that return lists
The following methods all return lists.
=over 4
=item Image information
ancestorAmiIds -- List of AMIs from which the current one was derived
imageAncestorIds -- Same as ancestorAmiIds() but easier to read.
productCodes -- List of product codes applying to the image from which
this instance was launched.
=item Launch and runtime information
securityGroups -- List of security groups to which this instance is assigned.
For non-VPC instances, this will be the security group
name. For VPC instances, this will be the security group ID.
publicKeys -- List of public key pair names attached to this instance.
=back
=head2 Methods that return a hashref
The following methods return a hashref for representing complex data structures:
=over 4
=item $devices = $meta->blockDeviceMapping
This returns a hashref in which the keys are the names of instance
block devices, such as "/dev/sda1", and the values are the EC2 virtual
machine names. For example:
x $meta->blockDeviceMapping
0 HASH(0x9b4f2f8)
'/dev/sda1' => 'root'
'/dev/sda2' => 'ephemeral0'
'/dev/sdg' => 'ebs1'
'/dev/sdh' => 'ebs9'
'/dev/sdi' => 'ebs10'
'sda3' => 'swap'
For reasons that are not entirely clear, the swap device is reported
as "sda3" rather than as "/dev/sda3".
=item $interfaces = $meta->interfaces
Returns a mapping of all virtual ethernet devices owned by this
instance. This is primarily useful for VPC instances, which can have
more than one device. The hash keys are the MAC addresses of each
ethernet device, and the values are hashes that have the following
keys:
mac
localHostname
localIpv4s (an array ref)
publicIpv4s (an array ref)
securityGroupIds (an array ref)
subnetId
subnetIpv4CidrBlock
vpcId
vpcIpv4CidrBlock
For example:
D
x $meta->interfaces
0 HASH(0x9b4f518)
'12:31:38:01:b8:97' => HASH(0x9eaa090)
'localHostname' => 'domU-12-31-38-01-B8-97.compute-1.internal'
'localIpv4s' => ARRAY(0x9b4f8a8)
0 '10.253.191.101'
'mac' => '12:31:38:01:b8:97'
'publicIpv4s' => ARRAY(0x9ea9e40)
0 '184.73.241.210'
'securityGroupIds' => ARRAY(0x9eaa490)
empty array
'subnetId' => undef
'subnetIpv4CidrBlock' => undef
'vpcId' => undef
'vpcIpv4CidrBlock' => undef
